Postby redman2k8 » December 3rd, 2013, 4:49 pm

came across a thread on an international facebook group(s) and they found someone in the US who rebuilds tail lights for ole skool vehicles...

Fella called "Potogee" (Portugese) in Seventh Avenue Malick. Don't have a number, but he's sorta opposite First Street on Seventh Avenue.

He is a boss, made a couple of lights and lenses for me a good few years ago. He also makes bubble plates and signs.

[quote="redman2k8"]have you seen his work pal?

Yup, he is actually very good. A lot of taxi drivers go by him for 280c lights. i was there recently and he was doing a headlight (don't know for what vehicle). He is the brother of late masman Geraldo Vieira.I have known him doing this all MY life.

He is very easy to find, if you drive west on 1st street Barataria you are literally in his yard upon crossing 7th avenue.
